Welcome to Peninsula Associates

Peninsula Associates provides consultation, assessment, and treatment services by caring and thoughtful clinicians who are licensed in California and certified by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. We have received training at some of the best universities throughout the country. Many clinicians on our diverse, multilingual staff also have areas of special interest and expertise.

Since 1978, Peninsula Associates has served the peninsula community, working with clients of all ages. We design and implement a variety of speech, language and learning programs for individuals and groups who have special needs as well as clients who simply want to enhance their communicative effectiveness.  As our practice has grown, our goals have remained the same: to provide the highest quality speech-language-learning services to our clients, colleagues and community and to maintain a positive, nurturing work setting for our speech-language pathologists and learning specialists.

Established in 1978 by Maureen O'Connor, Peninsula Associates has grown to include three office sites - Menlo Park, San Mateo and Santa Cruz - and employs 20 licensed and ASHA certified Speech-Language Pathologists.  We also provide off-site contract services to public, non-public and private schools, medical offices and rehabilitation facilities. Our staff is multi-lingual and have specialties in: childhood apraxia of speech, articulation, fluency, myofunctional therapy, voice disorders, autism, aural rehabilitation, swallowing disorders, infant feeding disorders, and many more.
